Chapter 0055 - Upper Soldier Strategy, Second Expedition, Lower Expedition
Five days is not a short time, but it is not a long time.
In the blink of an eye, it was the penultimate day when Liu Bang, the son of heaven, led the army to attack Chen Xuan.
At noon in the middle of the day, the open field east of Chang'an City was filled with the sound of low war drums and the thunderous cries of soldiers.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill !!"
Wearing bronze heads, wearing red military robes, and holding short swords or halberds in their hands, the sharp soldiers of the Northern Army carried out military exercises unique to this era under the high-pitched command of their respective commanders and commanders.
- Halberd Array Pushes Forward!
Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, thousands of lightly armored infantry lined up in more than a dozen columns in front and back, holding up their halberds several feet long, stabbing down into the air in front of them with the sound of shouts, looking somewhat silly.
But in fact, before the appearance of stirrups and saddles, and the cavalry really became a 'clutch soldier' and became the main type of troops in the era of cold weapons, most of the wars of Chinese civilization were similar scenes.
The two sides lined up on both sides of the battlefield, sending out a huge number of halberd arrays, moving forward step by step, until they came into contact with the enemy's halberd array, then stopped and began to stab at a distance.
When the halberd soldier in the front row is wounded, the comrades behind him will make up for it, and continue to repeat the tactical action of stabbing out, retracting, stabbing out, and retracting.
In a sense, the spearhead array stabbing is quite similar to the era of queuing and shooting in later generations.
But at this moment, Liu Bang, the Son of Heaven, who was standing on the general's platform for a 'military parade', did not pay attention to the soldiers of the Northern Army who were 'struggling to assassinate'.
"Behind closed doors?"
With a slightly surprised inquiry, Liu Bang turned his head slightly and looked at Chen Ping, the Hou of Qu Rebellion, beside him.
Seeing this, Chen Ping had no choice but to nod slightly: "Yes." ”
"Since His Majesty ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, all the children of the Lu clan and the old ministers, except for those who go out with the car, have closed their doors to thank guests."
"The crown prince is also trapped in the palace, and has no intention of rushing to power; The lack of the nine kings in the DPRK and the central government has not been discussed with the style of the Lu family's temporary generation······"
Listening to Chen Ping's statement, Liu Bang thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but let out a sneer.
"Hey!"
"Sure enough."
"Sure enough, it's still the queen who is cautious in her words and deeds, and she is all-encompassing~"
"Hum ······"
With another laugh in his heart, Liu Bang raised his head and looked at the soldiers of the Northern Army who were exercising.
And Chen Ping, who was beside Liu Bang, suddenly had a trace of worry on his face.
"Your Majesty·······"
"Huh?"
Seeing Liu Bang looking at him again, Chen Ping was a little entangled, Chong still bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "This time, Your Majesty is in charge of the country with the crown prince, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate······"
"It must be known that now, there are six vacancies in the nine kings of the DPRK and the Central Committee; If you count Fengchang's uncle and grandson Tongqian prince and concubine, it is seven out of nine. ”
"Now, Your Majesty has not yet set out on the expedition, and the Empress does not dare to install party henchmen in the court, and then wait for Your Majesty to leave Beijing ······"
Speaking of this, Chen Ping couldn't help but stop talking quietly, and looked at Liu Bang with a worried face.
Hearing this, Liu Bang only smiled strangely, and then looked meaningfully at the depths of Chen Ping's gaze.
"What does Qu Shunhou mean, is it to wait for my class master to return to the dynasty, the position of Jiuqing in the court, or there are seven of them as the queen's minions?"
After that, Liu Bang didn't wait for Chen Ping to react, and then asked: "That Qu rebel marquis thinks that if I don't use the crown prince to supervise the country, and leave Beijing to quell the rebellion this time, will the queen install henchmen in the court?" ”
"The queen has a big deal of cronies in the court, and she says 'Prince Feng's wings' outside, but anyone has the ability to stop the queen?"
Hearing this, Chen Ping subconsciously wanted to speak, thought about it for a long time, and finally lowered his head helplessly and bowed his hand to Liu Bang.
"Your Majesty's words are very ······"
As he spoke, Chen Ping turned his head again: "However, this is the minister's incomprehension!" ”
"That is, whether the prince is in charge of the country or not, the queen should be all over the party in the court, why should Your Majesty do this?"
"The crown prince can supervise the country, can't the queen arbitrarily take over the power of the court without any worries?"
After saying that, Chen Ping did not forget to make a puzzled look, waiting for Liu Bang's answer.
But when Liu Bang heard this, he sneered as if he had heard some nice joke, and shook his head again and again.
"Nothing to worry about?"
"It's just that the crown prince is in charge of the country, so the queen has nothing to worry about?"
After asking two questions one after another, Liu Bang sneered with disdain, and his expression suddenly brought the air of a tyrant who would give up on me!
"Although I am old, I am not ······ if I have not collapsed"
"When I am here, the queen will never have 'no worries' at all!"
"What about the crown prince of the prison country?"
"If you dare to stretch out your hand, you will be the prince of the prison country, and I can still wield the emperor's sword Chixiao!"
It's just that Liu Bang didn't say this.
Seeing Liu Bang's attitude, Chen Ping couldn't help but gather his mind a little and made a thoughtful look.
In front of Chen Ping, Liu Bang only looked at the soldiers of the Northern Army who were all over the field, repeatedly stabbing with halberds, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a slightly invisible arc.
"Hey, I thought I was old, so I started pretending to be confused in front of me······"
"Yellow-mouthed child!"
Liu Bang was secretly scolding himself, and he saw the figure of Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang, coming out of the array and walking towards the point where Liu Bang was.
Seeing this, Liu Bang's heart moved, so he turned around slowly and looked at Chen Ping with an indifferent face.
"The prince is trapped in the deep palace, I think it is not advisable."
"I entrusted him with the great responsibility of supervising the country, and the prince did not think about sharing worries for the monarch, but was cautious and cautious, with a posture of ruling with a vertical arch?"
"In recent days, Qu Rebellion Marquis has thought about what the prince should do during the time when I left Beijing to quell the rebellion."
Speaking well, Zhou Bo had already stepped onto the platform, and when he saw that Liu Bang was telling Chen Ping something, he stopped slightly deliberately and stopped at the edge of the platform.
Seeing this, Liu Bang only waved with a big grin and motioned for Zhou Bo to step forward.
"Your Majesty."
When Zhou Bo bowed his hand, Liu Bang only nodded slightly, and looked at Chen Ping again as if no one else.
"In this matter, Qu Shunhou must be as soon as possible!"
"The day after tomorrow, I will lead the army out to fight against Chen Feng and the thief!"
"When I am leaving, I should be in front of a hundred officials, and pay the prince with the strategy prepared by the Marquis of Qu Rebellion."
Abruptly gave Chen Ping an order to 'find something to do for the prince', Liu Bang turned around in surprise and looked at Zhou Bo with a faint amount of gossip in his eyes.
"Hey, the Marquis of Jiang doesn't know, in order to rectify the prince, Qu Rebellion Marquis has come up with several good strategies for me!"
"This time the crown prince is in charge of the country, in order to urge the Lu clan to kill each other, it is also a policy limited by Qu Rebellion!"
The words that made Chen Ping stunned, and his eyes widened for a while, Liu Bang patted Zhou Bo's shoulder again, and glanced at Chen Ping with a dark gaze.
"You Zhou Bo too, don't know how to fight and kill all day long, learn from Chen Ping hard."
"As the saying goes, the upper army is strategic, the second is the second, and the next is the army."
"Qu Shunhou, but he is a good talent for scheming~"
"Huh?"
Speaking with a mocking tone, Liu Bang's eyes did not leave Zhou Bo in front of him for a moment, but every word poked straight into the depths of Chen Ping's soul.
